We had a first fire in the fireplace this weekend since we got Pandora. Persephone knows that the fireplace is forbidden, although one of us is always in the room to make sure. We were anticipating an intense evening of relaxing in front of the fire interspersed with ferret discipline, but when Pandora approached, she got a snoot full of ashes and hasn't gone near the fireplace since then. She walked around for about 10 minutes making the funniest little ferret sneezes. The cats look at her with the funniest expressions. I just sat there and laughed. She got her revenge later. She has figured out how to climb into the laundry hamper to fetch SOCKS. No sock is safe anymore. It might be time to buy a new hamper with a stronger lid. Paula [Posted in FML issue 0627]
